Today's feature is my favorite courtroom drama. It's all my favorite film featuring any of the top 3 stars(Power, Dietrich, Laughton) and my favorite Agatha Christie story. A true cinema classic that's best to know nothing about prior to watching it for the first time. Enjoy.

It’s definitely a good one to know by heart. Do they even write such intelligent movies anymore?

It’s currently streaming on-demand if you are a Netflix subscriber.

No good writers left. Hollywood ran out of stellar stars as well.

Fantastic movie. When VCRs first came out, I rented this because I didn’t have a color TV at the time.

intelligent movies are usually not made because today they make films for the lowest common denominator

Thanks. Did not find that other link for it. Subtitles don’t bother me.

Thanks! I’ll have to check this one out. I like Christie, but haven’t seen this movie, nor read the story it’s based on.

If you’re watching on your computer, you can hover over the time thingy, find the minute mark where you left off, and start it up there without having to watch the beginning again.
